Coupling between Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a promising approach to model granular-fluid systems, broadening the range of particle-fluid processes that can be managed with numerical simulation. In this webinar, coupling approach for Rocky and ANSYS Fluent will be addressed. Mathematical modelling for the coupling itself will be briefly described, as well as few application examples. Finally, a hands-on demonstration of a 2-way coupling setup will be presented.
Agenda:

1. Why CFD-DEM coupling?

3. Examples of applications;
4. Hand-on demonstration.
